Bigg Boss OTT shut down: The reality show Bigg Boss has millions of fans. Given the show's popularity, the makers also released Bigg Boss on OTT (Over-The-Top) platforms, which garnered tremendous attention in a short time. But now, there's bad news for Bigg Boss fans. The makers have taken a shocking decision to completely shut down Bigg Boss OTT.

According to recent information, the fourth season of Bigg Boss OTT will not be produced. The show's creator, Rishi Negi, has clarified that the makers have decided to discontinue the OTT version. This news is a major blow for fans who were eagerly awaiting the shorter, high-voltage drama format of the OTT version.

Why was Bigg Boss OTT shut down?

The makers believe that there is no longer a need to run two different shows of the same format in Hindi. The main reasons behind this are as follows:

Platform strength: Now that the main Bigg Boss is being streamed simultaneously on both television and OTT platforms, running a separate OTT version doesn't seem practical.
Unified audience: The show is already receiving a tremendous response on strong platforms like Colors TV and Jio Hotstar.
Bridging the gap: According to Rishi Negi, even though the TV and digital audiences might be different, the main season of Bigg Boss has successfully managed to bridge this gap.

The makers now want viewers not to be limited to TV or digital platforms, but to experience the same blockbuster show on both, just like what was seen during the previous successful seasons of Bigg Boss.
